I know I read it somewhere. It seems to be a common anecdote. Here for example:
"By 1940, although she was only twenty-two, Lupino already seemed an ideal fit for the emerging genre of film noir. She had been perfect as tough-minded dames in pictures like They Drive By Night and High Sierra, opposite Humphrey Bogart, who was himself getting ready to jump into noir with both feet. (Alas, Lupino and Bogart did not get along, and she refused to work with him on subsequent pictures.)" http://www.criminalelement.com/blogs/2011/07/ida-lupino-noirs-indispensable-dame
I have no idea if anyone knows exactly why, but if biographies of Bogie are anything to go by, he sounds like he was a womanizing pig, and any woman who managed to get behind the camera back then probably wasn't the sort to put up with that. But that's just speculation.

Or here:
"he was to star again with Ida Lupino in Out of the Fog. Lupino objected; refusing to work with Bogart again"
